Loved it! Loved the town. Loved the people. Loved the clean and free toilets, loved the prices at the tourist centre gift shop ( especially after the shock of Icelandic prices)

We had a wonderful tour guide on our excursion. Most of the tour was riding on a bus, but the Islands are beautiful so we still enjoyed it. Our tour guide did a great job of telling us about the Shetland Islands history, culture, and typical life. Once again, I know I would never have gone there on my own and I loved it.

A favorite excusion (Rural Shetland) where we drove through stunning scenery to meet two crofters, who own Shetland ponies, 200 sheep (one of which we saw sheared by hand) and a kennel full of sheepdogs from 5 wk old puppies to old pros, who demonstrated with Crofter David how sheepdogs are trained. A wonderful day out!

Due to bad weather in the North Sea, we did not visit the Shetland Islands, instead Celebrity substituted Invergordon, Scotland where we did an excellent tour of Inverness, Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle.

Another tender port - with too few tenders. But, Lerwick is amazing. The Shetland Museum (free) is a 10 minute walk from the pier. The tour of the south coast was incredible.

We did included coach tour. Despite the misty cold day we enjoyed it. Willis was our tour guide and she was wonderful. Her voice was like a warm blankie.

Visit the chocolate shop! Friendly people and a nice place to walk. Hiked out to the headlands.
